y-8y+12+2y=2-4y
Multiply both sides of the equation by 4, the least common multiple of 4,2.
-7y+12+2y=2-4y
Combine y and -8y to get -7y.
-5y+12=2-4y
Combine -7y and 2y to get -5y.
-5y+12+4y=2
Add 4y to both sides.
-y+12=2
Combine -5y and 4y to get -y.
-y=2-12
Subtract 12 from both sides.
-y=-10
Subtract 12 from 2 to get -10.
y=10
Multiply both sides by -1.
